    Kawasaki Ninja H2...750 cc supercharged.

    That's what I thought when I heard of the "h" designation, so while impressive, I too was a little disappointed. edit: may be interesting to see one of these perform at the isle of Mann.

    Do Statistics tell the truth?

    As Mr Twain said, "lies, damn lies and statistics". But if what you posit is true, then look for some great deals on new and used bikes in the next 10-15 years! Supply and demand!

    Air show retard rant

    Wow...I don't even know where to start with that write up. This guy is out of touch! So many backhanded insults in that article! I gather from him that the "tools of war" should not be on display, Certainly not above his Parkdale home. But what about the civilian pilots? The gliders? SAR? And...

    Goodbye Bill

    I never did forgive him for the g20 fiasco. The most blatant violation of ones rights I have ever witnessed. I almost got caught up in the Queen Spadina "sweep" with my wife and my dog!

    Moron of the Day award goes to.......

    Mid or rear engine cars have much different dynamics than front engines. Back in the day the original Porsche 930 turbo was known as the "widow maker" until Porsche figured out suspension mods to correct for this!

    Road Rage on the 401, May 21, 2014

    I had to read and re read this. You say he took out the passenger mirror? Did he go between you and the truck? That is pretty dangerous. Or when you relaxed on the throttle did you create the classic box position .....EDIT... I think you had already passed the truck?? The reason I ask is if...

    OPP - Focus on Trails/Motorcycle this weekend

    Driving my wife to work this morning I heard an interview with an OPP officer. He said they were focusing on motorcycles to check for riders wearing their helmets and to check for distracted riding. I nearly spit up my coffee!
